Tottenham Hotspur have the chance to bring in some new signings this summer
Tottenham Hotspur could do with adding some more firepower to their ranks this summer. They finished down in 17th place in the Premier League table which ultimately cost Ange Postecoglou his job, despite their Europa League triumph. The London outfit beat Manchester United 1-0 in the final in Bilbao last month.
Spurs are in for a significant couple of months ahead of the next campaign. They have the chance to bolster their squad with some new faces over the next couple of months. Some current players could also head out the exit door to free up space and funds.
Tottenham Hotspur step up Antoine Semenyo pursuit
Spurs will ‘step up’ their interest in AFC Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo amid competition from Manchester United and Liverpool, according to Sky Sports. They are keen to lure the forward to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to inject more quality into their attacking department. It remains to be seen at this stage whether the Cherries will be able to keep hold of him amid attention from elsewhere.
Semenyo, 25, has been on the books of his current club since joining them back in 2023. He has since become one of their most prized assets and has scored 22 goals in 89 games in all competitions to date, 13 of which came last term. The player is also a Ghana international with 27 caps under his belt so far in his career.
The London-born man rose up through the academy ranks at Bristol City and was a regular for them at various different youth levels. He was loaned out away from Ashton Gate to Bath City, Newport County and Sunderland to get some experience under his belt. He then broke into the Robins’ first-team and went on to fire 21 goals in 125 outings before making the step up to the top flight when Bournemouth swooped in.
What is the latest regarding Tottenham Hotspur target Antoine Semenyo at AFC Bournemouth?
Semenyo was handed a new long-term contract by Bournemouth last year. That means they are under no financial pressure to sell him just yet. Spurs, Manchester United and Liverpool may need to fork out a hefty fee to try and get him.
After securing an extension 12 months ago, the Cherries’ chief executive Neill Blake said: “It has been clear for all to see the rate of Antoine’s development since joining 18 months ago. He has gone from strength to strength, and enjoyed an incredible first full season with us. Agreeing on a new long-term contract was important for us to recognise his contribution as a key member of our squad. We’re excited to see this continue for years to come.”
Semenyo has flourished under the guidance of Andoni Iraola. Regarding the influence of his manager, he said: “It’s a lot of running (style of play), I’d say that! But I think it’s worked really well. It has been tough. But it’s a benefit for all of us, being fitter. At least we can run longer in games and hopefully kill teams off. There’s loads of running. The running is crazy, but you just have to give your all.”
